A pneumatic diaphragm pump driven by a magnetically‐coupled dielectric elastomer actuator is proposed by Chongjing Cao, Xing Gao and Andrew Conn in article number 1900128. It exploits a compliant coupling between membranes to resonate at high power and efficiency. The flexible pump is demonstrated driving soft robotic prototypes including a soft gripper, ballooning chamber, and suction cup.
